This theme is open source and it’s been well received with plenty of stars and quite a few contributions and issues on Github since I first created it.

Hope you like it.

I have tried to create a blogging theme for developers. I believe being a developer my blogs and projects/work should be shown upfront. I migrated to my personal site to this theme - https://coolbrg.me .
I will be constantly exploring and updating it.
I am trying to keep it simple as possible.
It has features:

  • About
  • Home page containing latest 3 blogs and latest 3 projects
  • Blog List and blog post with sharing options to Facebook, Twitter, Linked & Mail
  • Project List

I created a portfolio + a technology blog. He often adds posts about Java, Spring, Hibernate, React and Kubernetes: devdiaries.net

An aggregator for remote jobs - remote4me.com

It lists 100% remote jobs for developers in dozen programming languages.
It covers 20+ job boards. Job ads separated by role and technology stack. Non-remote jobs get filtered out.
Hope it helps you to find a remote job.

(Once upon a time I decided to find a remote job, and started to research. And I found 35 (remote) job boards and 9 aggregators. And no job board or aggregator distinguishing between the “true remote, work from wherever you want” and the “you can work remotely once a week” jobs.
So I made this site.)

And yes, it is Github pages based.
Ask the questions and criticize ))

love it, seems efficient, lightweight.
Dmitri, I guess you have some cron jobs scraping the data from the aggregator, the data is saved somewhere and then it’s used to generate the .json files under assets/data, right?
I was thinking of doing something similar, but for translation jobs in Europe.
Looking forward to learn your secrets. Congratulations again!

Hi Eric,

…the data is saved somewhere and then…

this is the place where 90% of work is done )
there are a few “classifiers” assigning tags like “remoteness”, “technology” etc.
So, Jekyll is only tip of the iceberg )

The classifiers are not open source. It may be that one day I make them open source

A personal blog site based off the Hyde template, but written from scratch. Still building it up slowly in between posts. Still much to do!

A personal site that I made for myself. The theme is based off Indigo. The site uses no JS and uses a few CSS tricks to do things that typically require JS.

The repo is here: MattWThomas.github.io

I created this website for my company (Usecue BV). My goal was to get a perfect Google Lighthouse score on all pages. To achieve this perfect performance score I used no CSS frameworks, no jQuery and I created pages that are no larger than 20kb. Some pages have images and they are a little larger, but still have a perfect score. Most pages only require 4 requests: an HTML document, a CSS script, some JS and an icon.

PS. I added Times New Roman to the site for people who do not have that installed. This font is part of my tribute to the web.

@jhvanderschee I was going through your blog at Usecue. However I couldn’t help but notice multiple 1px wide div.line amidst the #0000ee background.
What purpose do they serve?

@ashmaroli If you have a really good monitor, you can see that those are (visible) grid lines.

I could see the vertical lines clearly. But couldn’t tell that they implied a grid because couldn’t see any horizontal lines.

Hi guys, I am really excited to post my blog on this thread. Jekyll is amazing and super cool to get started. The details of my website is given below! Do you want to learn swift? Hop in!

This site is an experiment. We operate a number of websites in the UK personal finance space. Others are largely based on Wordpress but we know that 1) In many cases we don’t need all the bells and whistles, and 2) Wordpress sites can be dreadfully slow. With Google now placing more emphasis on speed, and with 80% of our traffic coming from mobile we wanted to see the effect of a lean, mean website on potential natural search rankings. A site where speed is not a constraint on potentially good ranking if links emerge, as we hope they do.

We knew nothing of Jekyll - we simply posted a job for a fast website, and we had a pitch based on the Jekyll platform. Well, we’re astonished with the speed that’s been achieved. The site is truly leading-edge in the finance vertical. We’re excited to see what we can achieve. We’ll keep you posted.

Update: We’ve written about the merits of Jekyll at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fast-alternative-wordpress-david-silverman/ and will be writing a much more extensive article about static site generators vs WP shortly for publication on an appropriate website. If you’d like me to write it for your site please let me know. Thanks.
